    I seem to have slipped on a time traveling banana peel. Woke up to my house being illuminated with kerosene lamps instead of electric lights.  :muffins:

      Yes, looks like it is Kerosene. I only knew the Swedish word for it (fotogen). I realized my old kitchen ceiling lamp is a modified Kerosene Lamp for normal incandescent light source.

      I found more Kerosene Lamps. I do like the design! It was a long long time ago I saw one burning though! :o

      I bought 2 more of those large center draft lamps for the new house. They're nickel plated and sit in my living room.
      The brass one sits on my dinner table.


      Pretty much wrong time of year to use them due to the heat and humidity, but they go great with the rural farmhouse decor

    Looks like the forums got an upgrade or two since I last logged on.

      @Phosphor I missed you, too, BFFFF! How are you and Twilight doing? :adorkable:

      Quite busy. She's been helping me slowly pack some things so I can move once construction on the new house is complete.

      How bout yourself?

      @Phosphor Rarity has been helping me make tons of signatures. What are PFFF's for? :grin:

    I noticed your content counter is stuck at 9999. Would be funny if it rolled to 0000 after making another post in one of the threads.  He he  :sassy:

    Raptor: Call of the Shadows is still pretty fun all these years later. It's one of my childhood favorites.

    Images of Mars from my 16" telescope last night. Conditions were decent, but the humidity and skeeters were unbearable.

    1st Pic: Color

    2nd Pic: Near IR filter (improves contrast)

    3rd Pic: Violet filter (enhances view of Martian clouds; blue and UV filters will also do this)

    Equipment used: Skywatcher 16 (telescope); ZWO ASI224MC (color camera); ZWO ASI178MM (monochrome camera)

    It's been forever since we last chatted.

    How's life treating ya, Kyo?

    1. Kyoshi Frost Wolf

      Kyoshi Frost Wolf

      Life hasn't been great. Mental troubles such as no confidence, a growing nihilistic outlook on life and constant anxiety all feel as though they are draining my will to live. Slowly but surely. Even so, I am still trying my best to at least enjoy things even if I have a doomed future. Mostly been gaming, reading up on different subjects, chatting with my boyfriend, trying to enjoy any and all nice weather. The basic simple joys I always come back to. Not exciting in the least for anyone else to hear about but my life is as basic as it gets. I just wish it was that way for my mental state.

    Mooooo!

    Kinda miss the days when I use to be really active on here

    1. Sparklefan1234

      Sparklefan1234

      You're busy stargazing with Twilight Sparkle. It's understandable that you would be preoccupied. :adorkable:

    2. Splashee

      Splashee

      Never too late to be active. Also, I miss the Sonic CD stuff, like way too much! :kindness::please:

    3. Phosphor

      @Sparklefan1234, I wish. Life's been crazy this year. Also lost my granddad a couple months ago and have been thinking about him lately.

      @Splashee®, Heh, I know.  ;)

    Jupiter and Saturn. 

    Calm conditions tonight. Lower humidity too, cuz I didn't have to use the hairdryer on my telescope. lol

      Splashee

      Good, they are still there!

       

      I do see them in the sky, but they are just dots, even zoomed in with my camera, Saturn is a fancy blurry glowy disc

    2. Phosphor

      Phosphor

      I can just make out Saturn's rings with 10x50 binoculars. Gotta hold em steady tho.

      Those images above are at about 480X magnification. Without a tracking mount, a planet or star would quickly exit the field of view.

    3. Splashee

      Splashee

      Why is Earth rotating? :Cozy:

      Yea, hand are shaking too much and too dark to photo without bringing up iso to high, making terrible quality (for me)

      I am the cheapest tracking mount :wacko:

  12. Phosphor

    Mars video and images from this morning. Enjoy!

    *yawns. I'm going back to bed. :orly:

    My new laptop arrived a couple days ago. Got all of the software installed on it to run my telescope cameras and such. Having usb 3.0 ports is such a huge plus when it comes to these cameras.

    Heh, now that I think about it, this my first computer with a Core i7. All of my other computers have the older Core 2 duos and Quads.
